Bored Geeks = Robotic M&M sorter

[Edit: I found the original source for the image below and the movie file by accident today, as well as the company, Parallax, that markets this as an accessory to their hobbyist robotic stuff. Still cute.]

Ye Olde Babelfish translates the original site text roughly as "Some people only want to eat certain colors. That is naturally nonsense, but for those people there is now, however, a skilful apparatus: the M&M Sorter. Yes, it really works. The machine sorts the candies on color."

It looks like a nifty robotic project: taking a quick digital photo of each M&M, deciding on its color, and plunking it down in the appropriate tube. Odd, but nifty.
